Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Feedlot growth performance is a complex function of nutrition (including diet acceptability and feeding management), environmental conditions, animal management, and animal health and welfare. In this Special Issue, we welcome research articles as well as review papers focusing on the following areas: (1) diet formulation, feed processing, and feeding management practices for enhancement of growth performance and health; (2) mitigation of adverse environmental factors (including animal management systems); (3) management practices that promote animal health and wellbeing; and (4) mitigation of ruminal methane production. A list of relevant keywords is given below.
